Daily Inspiration: Full Moon Grand Cross

(www.cafeastrology.com)

This Full Moon is about balancing our commitment to our career and families. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them.

The Moon turns an ongoing T-square involving Jupiter, Pluto, and Uranus into a Grand Square, and Mars supports the lunation. Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with those things in our personal lives that we may have been neglecting or putting off. With so much attention to our relationships, careers, and personal plans, a push for considering our emotional needs occurs now. Not everyone is going to be on board with what we want to do, and mediation may be helpful or necessary before moving forward.

The entire Cardinal Cross effect is bound to shake up your experience of authority and security, and lead you to think twice about the role these qualities play in managing and dealing with the emergence of change and new potential. Whether you are delighted or disappointed by emerging changes, this is a time when you are challenged to rethink how you interact with control.

Energy of the Day 1-12-2017

I drew this graphic originally for a Valentine card. It best describes the heart of the matter! We are sometimes called the “Rainbow Warriors” and the “Tribe of Many Colors”, yet we are all together in this circle of life, where love is really what makes the world go round. Since ideas are strengthened by sharing, this is the message we want to pass around.

Daily Inspiration: from Patricia Cota-Roblas eraofpeace.org

January 11, 2017, will be a 1 (month) 11 (day) 1 (year) = 1-11-1 or 11:11. Eleven is the master number that reflects the transformation of the physical into the Divine. 11:11 is the sacred geometric coding within Humanity’s DNA that began initiating Humanity’s Awakening several decades ago. Many people have been oblivious of this subtle motivator for our Awakening, but with the new frequency of Light we will receive in January we are being told that will no longer be the case. The first step in this Activity of Light is for us to Transmute the surfacing negativity.

Daily Inspiration: Happy New Year 2017 from Mary Woods

Here we have arrived at 2017, which in numerology is a #1 year of Beginnings.While 2016 was a #9 year of “Completion”, we all just completed a 9 year cycleand today is the beginning of a whole new one! For me personally, I just had my60th birthday on December 29, and began my #5 year of Change. I am feeling allthe changes and new beginnings on this first day of the New Year, which in numerologyis also 1+1+1. This triple number means an Energy Flow. Patricia Cota-Roblas on herwebsite www.eraofpeace.org discusses the significant inflow of Divine Light we willbe receiving from today through January 11, which is 1+1+1+1, a major energy portal.The energy of of day astrologically is good for setting goals and resolutions for the year.

One of my goals for the new year is Balance; between work and play, work and exercise,work and vacationing, social time and quiet time. One of the changes I feel called to makeincludes this “It’s About Time; Energy Of the Day” report. I have been sending a daily report since March of 2015,
for 21 months, which has been a dedicated commitment taking a lot of my “time”.
As I think about ways to have more time for more balance in my life, my new planis to post these reports only on special occasions instead of every day. This allows me to havemore free time to be inspired to do other things that have been neglected.

Perhaps the “Daily Inspiration” will become “Inspiration” when I feel inspired to shareand “It’s About Time” will become “It’s Time!” whenever it is time for more inspiration!It is Our Time To Be The Change We Want To See In The World….So Be It!

Daily Inspiration: Don’t Waste the Miracle by Jan Miller Girando

There’s a miracle in Christmas – there’s a stillness in the airAnd excitement in the shining eyes of children everywhere.There’s a miracle in Christmas as each silent night unfolds,
And we see again the promise that this holy season holds.There’s a wonder in traditions, in the stories passed along,In our thoughtfulness toward others, and in voices raised in song.There’s a reassuring comfort in the joy glad tidings bringAnd an inner peace from honoring and praising Christ the King.There’s a magic in the season, and in kindnesses we do,Whether joys are shared by many or among a special few.There’s awareness of our gratitude for blessings from above,
There’s a miracle in Christmas, and the miracle is love.

With Love, Mary
